Chapter 70: Breakthrough
There was another muffled thunder, and I saw General Chen nod slightly, dodged to her side, and couldn't help but pull the slippery big to wrap her whole, and jumped on a horse with a horizontal hug.
"Put me down!" She thrashed, but the man on the horse was indifferent, and the horse roared and rushed straight to the center.
Rong Yixuan stepped forward to intercept him angrily, but Bai Ze grinned, jumped in front of his horse, waved the thin knife in his hand, and after a crisp sound, the horse's head rolled down.
Blood gushed out, Rong Yixuan was caught off guard, abandoned the horse and turned to the ground, but looked back and shouted: "You can't go to the east!" ”
The north-south extension of this official road in Yaohua Mountain deliberately avoids a piece of land to the east, in addition to the danger and rocks of this land, but also because there are often bandits in the east, and the elusive Qingping Sect also seems to have a village here, and there are rumors in the countryside that there are ghosts and monsters......
Yu Wang blocked the way, and he could only watch General Chen take Ruoyun away.
"Put me down! I can't leave Baize alone! She cried out as she watched the white figure pass by her.
Bai Ze smiled, but handed her a comforting look, turned to look at Rong Yixuan, and said word by word: "You, don't want to leave!" ”
After saying that, the blade in his hand waved, and the cold air around him seemed to condense.
Ruoyun stopped struggling and looked at the smile on his face without a trace of pain or fear.
"No......," she muttered.
If it weren't for the danger, if it wasn't for the last resort, how could Baize get here?!
General Chen hugged her and pressed her on his horse, and when she reached the east side of the woods, she suddenly jumped into the air, and the archers were startled, but the two of them had already jumped onto the red Yingluo war horse that had been frightened and galloped past.
The reins tightened. With a light reprimand, the horse obediently obeyed his command and ran.
She sat up with a spirit. Blankly, he watched Bai Ze's tall back gradually blur.
This horse was arranged by him at all!
Did he think about a way out early in the morning?
I vaguely saw Bai Ze swing his sword. Rong Yixuan instinctively jumped away, and the sword light accompanied the actions of the soldiers around him, and a murderous aura rose up and surrounded him.
"Baozawa ——!" Her shouts were feebly drowned out in the rumbling thunder.
The horse changed his previous crazy and playful personality and began to run meticulously along a straight line to the east.
Tears kept rolling down and shivering, and General Chen wrapped her up with his hands, for fear that she would have to turn back desperately as soon as she let go.
The rain was weakening, mixed with the rumbling thunder that made the earth mourn.
She felt as if she had been evacuated, and even the pain was so unreal numbness.
She refused when he held out his hand. There is no room for refusal, like an invisible and untouchable blade that cuts everything off.
promised Bai Ze, she would do whatever he said, but if she really stayed away from the thrilling scene according to his words, she would rather die than obey.
Bai Ze's life and death are uncertain, and she doesn't know if Rong Yixuan can live, she only feels that this heavy rain is like a nightmare, every time the rain rains there is slaughter, and every raindrop can make her heart beat. Panic.
I don't know how long it took, maybe it was a while, or maybe it was a whole day from early morning to dusk, and her mind was in chaos. The body gradually collapsed, allowing the horse to run.
General Chen seemed to be accustomed to seeing right and wrong, life and death, and rode forward. Without a trace of hesitation, he deliberately avoided the official road. Soberly towards the east.
Even if the fate of King Yu, who he had followed for many years, hung by a thread, he resolutely left. Stubbornly carrying out what may be the last order of the king.
Ruoyun raised his eyes and looked at his silver helmet, which was a cut short of Bai Ze, and his arms still didn't let go after so long.
"General Chen has worked, if Ruoyun turns back at this time, it will be useless, and the general doesn't have to mind anymore." She said softly, her heart was already depressed, and she could still pull out a smile that even she couldn't detect.
Hearing this, General Chen was really slightly relieved.
After a long time, the rain subsided, and the sound of horses' hooves mixed with the rustle of leaves, making the surroundings seem eeriely quiet.
"General Yu won't die." General Chen suddenly said in a muffled voice.
The voice came through the helmet, which surprised her, and she blurted out: "How does the general know?" ”
General Chen was silent for a moment this time, and said more affirmatively: "You have to trust him." ”
She tightened her fingers sharply, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She believes, even if she doesn't believe it, she believes that Bai Ze will live, believes that they are safe and sound, so that she can live up to his good intentions of painstakingly arranging for herself to get out and return to the capital in danger.
Her whole body seemed to be lit with hope, and she actually admired what kind of person was under the cold helmet that could give her such confidence at this moment.
Even if you can't catch up, you have to do your best to catch up without distractions.
In the evening, the rain stopped, and the sky did not brighten, but fell directly into the night after it was dark.
It is almost impossible to walk through a rugged forest, overgrown with rocks and vines.
The horse suddenly stopped, and refused to move forward no matter how much it was beaten.
She felt the hand holding her tighten suddenly, and the next moment the neighing of the horse began, and she realized that she had been taken a few feet away, and when she turned around, the horse seemed to run away from something terrifying, and no longer turned and galloped away uncontrollably.
She looked around in a panic, unable to distinguish the direction in the darkness, only to feel that the stones standing were like human figures, which made her heart palpitate.
"Stay and don't move." At this time, General Chen let go of her and slowly walked towards the dense forest.
Ruoyun looked at his back and only said "be careful".
Through the heavy rain and the attack, she was wet and weak, leaning against the thick tree, curled up in a ball.
The sky grew darker and darker, and only the outlines of the trees could be discerned.
General Chen was nowhere to be seen, and she felt more and more frightened.
Suddenly remembered the small cloth bag given by Bai Ze, he once said that he would take it out in an emergency, and it would be great if he could surprise her!
The hand reached into his bosom, and the first thing he touched was the already warm porcelain bottle.
She was shocked, and a warm current poured into her heart.
He had told her to take her medicine on time, but he let her take it with her on that day. It turned out that she had expected this to happen, and she had to go on the road alone?
Slowly touch the cloth bag. Open slowly.
A hairpin, a letterhead.
The hairpin lay quietly in the palm of his hand. The wings, which were as transparent as cicada's wings, were dotted with glittering gold, and they glowed faintly in the twilight.
Her hand shook, and the butterfly's wings trembled with it, fluttering like it was about to fly.
This butterfly hairpin, originally rolled to the corner of the palace of the country, she thought it had been lost, but she didn't want to be found by Bai Ze.
Unfold the letter, and the cloth bag was not completely wet. The letter paper was only half wet and survived, only to see a few lines written on it in free and easy handwriting:
Girl, although she is entrusted by others, there is a reason for it, I want to take you out of the capital to shelter, but I have similar interests along the way, and I will never regret it. I apologize for the delay in your departure and return. Present the token that the man has given him, and hope for forgiveness.
Suddenly. A "buzz" in her head made her stare at breathing.
That "entrusted by others, things happen for a reason", she couldn't believe her eyes.
She suddenly remembered the night in the capital that was full of artillery fire. Bai Ze can find himself in the chaos, and he is simply going for her? Could it be all of this......
Below, it is eye-catching and stamped with a seal that is rare to see in the king. Accompanied by a hideous tiger pattern, she was stunned.
End. A colored note was attached.
Subconsciously pinched the note and flipped it over.
A few words, but it made her whole person fall into a blank.
It was a lantern riddle. The creases are very clear:
The blue sea and blue sky and night heart.
That night, she drew "Chang'e should repent of stealing the elixir", and when she saw the first half of Rong Yixuan, she thought it was a coincidence, and now, is the second half of the sentence the biggest coincidence.
This one is not Rong Yixuan's, among the few people who went to the Lantern Festival that day......
She looked at the letter, at the riddle, and at the butterfly hairpin, and choked on her throat with the bitterness and bitterness that surged in her heart.
She could almost feel the blood flowing backwards from her limbs, and she was in pain, and her whole body trembled involuntarily.
Chang'e should repent of stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and blue sky are night and night.
When I closed my eyes, the clear figure in the bamboo forest, the quiet smile that was far and near, clearly appeared in my mind.
Cheng Qingxuan!
Since ancient times, she has given hairpins to knotted hair, and she finally realized it at the moment because of the note and lantern riddle in hand.
Why didn't you tell her when you drew the verse? Afraid of her refusal?
She could barely breathe, and the pain in her stomach began to crunch again, and her throat was once again fishy.
The prince Cheng who seemed to have no quarrel with the world, but thought about her everywhere, she once thought that he didn't care about her life or death.
Thinking of this, she was ashamed, and she couldn't wait to go back to Beijing immediately, so she could ask him in person, yes or no.
Yes and no, how can she ask?
She shook her head in a sneer, lamenting the sudden change.
He is light and gentle, calm as water, not as strong and hot as Rong Yixuan, just so inadvertently, little by little penetrated into her whole life, unhurried, almost unfelt, but he has indeed been protecting her.
A letter and a hairpin, but it made her understand and transparent, relieved her, and made her sad and joyful, but she didn't know how to face it.
It's just that Bai Ze said to open the cloth bag in an emergency, and now this cloth bag is useless except for the hairpin's own mechanism, and the rest is far-reaching and far-reaching at the moment.
Suddenly, all the noise around them stopped.
The leaves were silent, the dripping water was silent, and even the wind that was still whistling just now seemed to be scared away by something, leaving no trace behind.
Ruoyun stood up nervously, but saw a figure coming this way from a distance.
When she got closer, she breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw the silver armor: "General Chen, it turned out to be your ......"
General Chen approached, but he was stunned when he looked at the hairpin in her hand.
Ruoyun frowned, leaving the country that day, Suotai's master was also stunned when he saw this hairpin, could it be that there was some mystery here, or ...... The master let go of Rou Yan and Ben not because she coerced Suotai, but because she saw this hairpin?
At this moment, there is no wind, no stars and no moon, and the hairpin is quietly held in her hand, and there is nothing unusual.
General Chen only paused for a moment, then immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, and whispered in her ear when she was stunned: "Girl, there is fraud in this forest, it seems that a formation has been arranged, girl, don't act rashly, I will keep you safe and sound."
